Happy Birthday Maxine

Maxine’s Birthday is today! Be there! Maxine is the Chief Executive Bear (CEB) of Build-a-bear Workshop. Celebrate her birthday this weekend with us!

Getting your exclusive gift is easy – just hang out in the Neighborhood or outside the Coffee Shop. When she shows up you will automatically get your gift. No clicking on her or trading required. She came while I was logged in and in another room so when I came back my pop up was on telling me the gift was in ‘My Stuff’.

New events are coming.
Tomorrow is Maxine’s Birthday, so we may want to try a “Find Maxine” thing like we did with the Heroes, she’ll have gifts again afterall, plus a special hat from Bearemy and we can buy a special shirt from the boutique.

New clothes and furniture come out on the 14th as well and if you make a purchase of 15 dollars or more on the 14th to the 31st will get you exclusive access to the Beach where you get to beat a celebrity and get a special item from him.

The Pawsome Peanuts Quest starts tomorrow and ends the 14th…

And the Pot o’ Gold Hunt starts on the 11th. The Fishing game comes out the 12th.

And just a quick note for those who haven’t tracked before: Just because you see Maxine doesn’t help ^^; She only shows up on one server at a time, so we need to know the server and not only that, but what MAP. If possible, even follow her, because she can switch very quickly and we only have one day this time.

I have my cub condo decorated with the new items if you’d like to take a look. I’ll be hanging out in Bear Blvd during the afternoon. I do have to go to a meeting later, so don’t be mad if you find me just dancing or standing around. DawnHoneyBee

Ok, I was able to change my name in here but I still haven’t figured out the photo thing and I can’t find where someone posted the instructions.

Anyway, I got my party hat from Bearemy in the Town Square. I bought the Mama Bear tshirt in the Fashion District and then, dressed in my party clothes, I set my character up in the Fashion District, outside the coffee shop next to the party sign. I went to run a few errands, came back and Maxine had given me the necklace. Yeah!

Are you sure she’s not actually there? Only a certain number of people can appear on the screen which is why you should check the “Nearby” tab on your friends list, so Maxine could be there and you can’t see her.

You won’t get an alert about the necklace if you already have one ^^; So you can’t tell if she’s there otherwise.

fortunantly, i’m friends with HannahCyBearGuide, and i’m guessing that wherever they are, maxine will follow shortly. i’m still trying to find her even though i magically have the necklace without seeing her….

ok Its been 3 hours. This is not very fun waiting around this long. I dont understand how some people have it and Ive waited so long and dont have the necklace yet. Is it in a certain place? PLEASE HELP.

I think everyone who logged on today should have gotten the gift. It is not right for us to spend hours & hours looking, and never find her, but people are on for 5 minutes and it appears in their stuff & they don’t even know till you ask them about it!

It would have made more sense for her to be in one place all day long, than to bounce from place to place.

OK, I am giving up on the search for Maxine, too, after looking for her morning, afternoon, and evening. No mystery necklace in my stuff either. I’ll be back for the peanuts quest tomorrow though. It has to be easier to find! 🙂

I so second everything mirenithil said.
I have been on literally all day well from 11AM until now. I have not seen her or got the necklace. It is so frustrating, I didn’t do anything all day but look for her
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so disapointed…. I don’t like today and what it did to me, my boy saw me so upset that he wanted to give me his……

Argh! I thought maybe if I stayed logged in for at least an hour she would appear. My kids are upset because I logged on and have been sitting here for two hours now. My ***** year old keeps asking me if she got sick. Sad…

even though the necklace appeared in my inventory, i still want to find her!!! this is really making me mad!!!!! i see the point of her switching dens and what not, but come on, really young kids play this game, and it’s making me mad and i’m older. if she had to move around she should ALWAYS be in one place, like town square, not all over.

Just trying to keep up with things for my girls and they really wanted all of the birthday stuff. I said I would stay on a little longer to find Maxine, and now I’m just frustrated. We have hats but no necklace. Any ideas?

I just got the necklace too. I just stood my avatar near the coffe shop on Bear Blvd and was reading post on here. When I went back I had the necklace. It would be nice to have seen her, but I’m happy with the necklace.

"Birds fly, fish swim, man thinks and learns. Therefore, we do not need to motivate children into learning by wheedling, bribing or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do, and all we need to do, is bring as much of the world as we can into the school and classroom (in our case, into their lives); give children as much help and guidance as they ask for; listen respectfully when they feel like talking; and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest."
